One of my first jobs (1964) involved the reassembly of a brand new TR4 that had been crashed. I couldn't believe the rack mountings. You could move the steering wheel to-and-fro, and half the steering movement was the rack moving relative to the frame. I guess Triumph didn't like it either, as it was reworked a lot in the TR4A. I always examined this area carefully on any TR4 I met. Below you can see why; I suggest that if you have one of these, you do the same, often and thoroughly. |
